Busy as bees
We’ve been actively distributing shields to healthcare workers. Here are some photos of volunteers who are doing screenings with ICNA Relief USA.
“Thank you for the face shield it gave our volunteers the feeling of security.”

In the swing of things
As boxes continue to fill up with face shields, our partners at PacMin are expanding the assembly space to other local Southern California cities. This expansion is possible thanks to the generosity of cities and individuals who are opening their facilities to our cause.
We’re ever grateful for the donations that are helping to get these shields into the hands of healthcare providers :)

We’re on a roll
Orders are continuing to roll in! Today, we’re shipping out to multiple states across the US and hand delivering to local doctors and clinics.
“ I did wear [the shield] for a few days after [my LASIK procedure] just to be safe and now I’ve made a full recovery. I can absolutely see myself wearing them when Invisalign says it’s alright to go visit our doctor’s in person again.
I’ll pass your website and information along to all my doctors who ask me about PPE.
My experience with Asprodental could not have been more professional and rewarding.”

Fresh from the supplier
We received a new shipment of materials to make face shields! Assembly will take about 10-14 days before we can begin shipping out the shields.
